But it wasn't easy for Shane who admitted it took a bit of getting used to.

He told Ticketmaster: "No it didn’t. It was a daunting experience, and something I wasn’t used to. When you’re on your own and see your name on the tickets, and the doors, and catering, and all that craic, it’s a bit weird. It takes a bit of getting used to.

“But the support I have had in the past five years from the fans has been incredible. They keep coming back, and seeing the shows. Hopefully I’m delivering a great show to them every night. I really can’t complain.”

When asked what advice he’d give if he was starting out now, he said: “I’ve never really thought about it, you know.”

“The touring side has been really good. This is the third album and the third tour. It’s a lot of fun.

"At the start, I was probably a bit more apprehensive about it all, a bit more nervous. Coming out of a band like Westlife and starting out on your own is definitely a bit daunting."

When talking about what advice he would give to other musicians going it alone, he advised: "Maybe I would say to relax a little bit more.

“The first night of the first tour was very scary, but after that I really enjoyed it. There’s nothing really much that I’d change. It’s progressed nicely every year. We’ve got it down to a fine art now, with the amount of gigs and tours we’ve done. I just really enjoy it.”
